and then exploded.

The sheer force of these supernova detonations mashed together the matter in the star's

cause, turning lighter elements like iron into heavier ones like uranium.

Flung out by such explosions, trillions of tons of uranium traversed the cold universe

and wound up near our slowly materializing solar system.

And here, over roughly 20 million years, the uranium and other bits of space dust and

debris cohere to form our planet.

In such a way that the violent tectonics of the young earth pushed the uranium not towards

its hot core but up into the folds of its crust.

Within reach, so to speak, of the humans who eventually came along circa 300,000 BC.

And who mined the uranium, beginning in the 1500s, learned about its radioactivity in 1896

and started feeding it into their nuclear reactors 70 odd years ago.

Making electricity that could be relayed to their houses to run toasters and light up
